The one thing they did that might be considered good is the whole concept of 
services like Sling TV to at least be able to dump the cable and have a decent 
selection of channels at a good price, but every time I hear about one of those 
retransmission disputes they get into with this or that local TV company makes 
me think about how bad it is for those customers affected by it. I don't think 
any provider is immune from being pulled over these on occasion, but Dish is 
the one that seems to make the news with them.

  Not happy at all with Dish network and haven’t been for years.  My problem 
starts with the CEO and works on down from there.

      You’re forgetting one key thing though, T-Mobile floats a lot of stock 
out there and issued blocks recently to raise money for expansion and spectrum.


      VZ has a tremendous amount of cash flow but a tremendous amount of debt.  
Remember they had to buy their way out of Votophone.  You’re right though, it 
does help.  You should have seen our lab called building 51 (E.T. should like 
that reference).  We had a whole replication of the VZ network in miniature in 
our building.


      I’m not sure if the regulators will allow it but it would be nice for 
T-Mo to buy Sprint and fix that network or at least put that spectrum to better 
use.  Unfortunately the dish network burger would probably be more easy to make 
happen, I hope it does not.

        Oh I am sure. They have been talking about 5G testing now for sometime 
I think. It seems like that's the one thing Vesey has over everybody. They 
still have the most customers by far, which should mean they have more money 
than anybody to spend on these kinds of improvements. T-Mobile has been doing 
well. But they are still number three in the big race, and you would think that 
would impact of their income over all and thus and their ability to do stuff in 
the future

          I like to see the competition, I think it’s a cool thing.  There are 
very sharp people at VZ including my friend who is the lead engineer in the NNO

              Looks like they are continuing to build out which is a good sign 
and I know they are closing on more spectrum for more areas. Enjoy the read 
it’s from their CTO and has a fair bit of technical detail which is nice.  My 
handiwork at Verizon just got smoked.:)

                  For folks who are aware, Verizon just launched LTE advanced 
or the ability to bond carriers.  T-Mobile has had carrier aggregation in the 
network since 2014 and with new advances announced this week jumps back in to 
the lead being over 2 times faster than verizon with maximum speeds of 400 
megabits now available.  Two key technologies have been released, 4X4 MIMO and 
new modulation schema 64/quad upload and 256/quad download.  
                  First, 4X4 MIMO allows t-mobile to open twice as many paths 
to your handset.  This means that data is now spread on multiple paths per band 
effectively increasing the bandwidth ( radio bandwidth) between your handset 
and the tower.  This technology is up and running now in over 251 cities and 
quickly being rolled out network wide.
                  Second, the new modulation scheme means that more bits per 
frame or transmission are sent at one time.  This upgrade will be fully rolled 
out across the T-Mobile network by the end of october.  Combined these 
technologies allow for more cells per tower, faster throughput and the ability 
to offer truly unlimited services with out worrying about user contention or 
the need to throttle.  
                  T-Mobile also announced that it’s network now covers 99.7% of 
the area that Verizon covers and reaches over 312 million users.  Plans 
continue to not only increase coverage but increase cell density to the highest 
in the industry surpassing verizon.  This means more raw capacity and more 
towers to carry your traffic.
